VRBO is part of the HomeAway family, the world leader in vacation rentals. We offer the largest selection of properties for any travel occasion and every budget. We’re committed to helping families and friends find a perfect vacation rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.

Float the shallow, warm waters of the Crystal River or float atop the rolling waves of Lake Michigan! Walk the beach or stroll alongside the boardwalk which stretches for blocks just outside the condo building. And the new-extended paved bike path comes right up to the entrance of the Homestead Resort.

The town of Glen Arbor is only 2.5 miles from the Resort down scenic M-22. The entire Leelanau Peninsula has a relaxing atmosphere for a great get-away vacation: no mega malls, no traffic lights, no chain fast food places, no dwellings above three stories, no chain hotels. But, if you are looking for that kind of variety, the town of Traverse City is only 30 minutes away!

Leelanau county has vineyards/wineries, 5 or 6 charming coastal villages where you will find galleries, boutiques, cottage book stores, local farm markets, concerts, exhibits, festivals, unique shops/stores, fudge, a ferry to escort you to/from South Manitou Island, local fishing charters, private sailboats/yachts, and dining from casual to five star (my favorite, Labacasse, a country French restaurant in nearby Burdickville). And Leelanau county has exceptional scenery, rolling countryside terrain, wildlife abounding, golf, tennis, downhill and cross country skiing, biking and hiking trails, plenty of nature and plenty of friendly people who love the out-of-doors.

Glen arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leelanau county: a place like no other in the world.

Note: this rental does not include access to the Homestead pools or tennis courts. You WILL have access to all of the resort amenities that are open to the public, such as all of the grounds and beach area, public restaurants, golf (ski hill in the winter), spa, salon, and the shops in the Village. Public tennis courses are available in Glen Arbor.

The family (kids 11 and 13) enjoyed our stay at the condo in Glen Arbor. The property is as described and the pictures portray an accurate impression of what you get. The listing mentions "the new-extended paved bike path comes right up to the entrance of the Homestead Resort", just to clarify, from the condo you need to ride to the entrance of the Homestead (hilly!) then cross the main road to get to the trail then once on the trail there is a stretch you have to ride on a less traveled road (with cars) into Glen Arbor. I like to clarify this type of stuff when traveling with kids since mine were old enough to do this but if they were a few years younger I might not have been comfortable with them riding on the road. There was a bike rack outside to lock our bikes up when not in use. We enjoyed swimming in both the river and Lake MI. The beach area was nice, not neatly groomed but private and not rocky so we were happy with it. Glen Arbor is a quaint town and literally minutes down the road. They have a beautiful new township park near Cherry Republic!! The Village within the Homestead was anything but thriving though with only the small grocery store open for that $5 box of cereal that you desperately need! They were in the process of renovating the Italian restaurant but nothing else seemed like it had been open in a while. Not to worry though Glen Arbor has all you need for a great stay. We love the area and I'm sure we will return again in the future.

This beautiful condo is within the Homestead Resort, and has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and a short walk to a wonderful beach. It was perfect for 4 of us, with our now-adult children for a week in late August. We all loved the proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes park, the natural beauty, and the setting. The description was accurate, and while some of us worried that not having resort pool access might be an issue, I would say it is really not a problem at all. In some ways it allowed us to focus on the Lake, beach and park. I would recommend it highly and might even plan a return visit myself. The sunsets were a highlight and differed each night. We visited Leelanau peninsula sights including wineries, lighthouse and took an evening boat ride from Leland. We especially liked the pies we bought at the coffee shop in Glen Arbor, where Carl has his designated chair and can recount local history dating back 70 years. It is a great place for a relaxing vacation on Lake Michigan.
